Question

Stefani needs to earn at least $250 for her trip to the upcoming softball tournament. She babysits on Saturday night and earns $48. Write and solve an inequality to show how much more Stefani needs to earn. Show your work.

1 answer

Let x represent the amount Stefani still needs to earn.

Given that she has already earned $48, we can write the inequality as:

x ≥ $250 - $48
x ≥ $202

Therefore, Stefani needs to earn at least $202 more to reach her goal for the trip.
